Sample answer：

It has become a common phenomenon for people in a number of countries to

enjoy an increasing life expectancy. While some people believe it is horrible

just to imagine getting old , I think the situation has completely changed

comparing to decades ago and now elderly people can lead a happy life.

In some cases, the seniors do experience empty nest syndrome because their

children are away from home. However, things are different nowadays. There are

numerous residential homes with trained carers in a country and they have become

a perfect place for the elderly to stay after retirement, where the elderly will

not feel lonely and bored with the company of their peers.

Another concern for numerous senior citizens is the health problem. In the

past, without advanced medical science, the seniors tend to suffer from various

kinds of diseases, which decrease their quality of life at great extent. By

contrast, the medical science is developing at an amazing speed and this trend

can at least delay the onset of some chronic conditions and with healthy body,

the elderly can enjoy happier lives.

Apart from the two factors discussed above, instead of feeling useless or

frustrated, elderly people can work beyond the retirement age or devote

themselves to somewhere else to enrich their life. For example, a friend of my

grandfather work as a part time doctor in his local community. In this way, not

only does he make best use of his time, but also help a number of

neighbours.

To sum up, I hold the viewpoint that with the development of society and care

from family members, elderly people can enjoy a more satisfying and meaningful life.
